Dapol Bulk Grain Hopper GWR 2886 is a die‑cast model of a Great Western Railway bulk grain hopper locomotive, designed for use on O gauge (7 mm) track. The model portrays a typical freight engine from the era of the “Big Four” railway companies, which operated before nationalisation in 1948.

The model is supplied by Dapol and carries the manufacturer part number 4F‑036‑005. It represents the period known as the “Big Four” – the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), the Great Western Railway (GWR) and the Southern Railway (SR).

Built in 1:76 scale, the hopper features a die‑cast metal chassis, metal wheels with chrome‑plated hubs, and a finely detailed steam boiler with brass fittings. The body is moulded from high‑impact plastic and includes realistic rivets, hand‑railings, and a removable grain hopper compartment.

The model is intended for collectors and railway enthusiasts seeking a historically accurate representation of a GWR freight locomotive. It is sold both as a standalone unit and as part of Dapol’s “The Big Four” range, and was available in retailers’ stock as of 01/10/2024.
